ACS Vesuvius - black with African Blackwood upgrade - £1650

Igm45

As per title, limited edition black Vesuvius for sale. This has been upgraded with African black wood water/steam/portafilter handles - originals will be included.
I’ve had this machine for three years. I’m the second owner however this machine has made less than 3,000 shots (as per image).
The Vesuvius is fantastic, a dual boiler pressure profiling machine that allows you to adjust temperature, pressure etc to experiment with and get the best out of whatever bean you prefer. It can also be programmed to turn on at preset times.
It’s only ever had filtered water, it’s been a workhorse and not caused me any problems at all. Water supply and drip tray can be plumbed in if wanted.
I’m only selling as there may (or may not) be a lever machine that I’m interested in buying, purely as the experimental bug is calling and I’ve never had a lever.
Due to size (it’s a heavy machine!) collection only (Cambridgeshire).
Any questions fire away.

Igm45 Did it sell, or keeping it?

DavecUK keeping it, the new grinder will satisfy my upgrade-itus.

Good move, far more to be gained with that machine when paired with a better grinder. Not likely to see huge benefits from a machine upgrade in comparison.

Igm45 I second Dave’s comment. This machine has put the bar so high that few machines can outperform it.

I am curious, if you do not mind, where on the menu did you find the coffee count?

I personally would like to see how many coffees I have had so far, I bought it new in 2020.
